Live the summer, but without sacrificing skin health
Summer approaches bring sunshine, entertainment, celebrations, vacations and joy. All this makes our intimate vibration and hopes reborn. Who knows, maybe this year will not bring that job, that love or just happiness. So let’s enjoy all this with health and well beauty The sun doesn’t seem like a villain. By the way, it lightens our mood and also prevents such diseases as rickets and osteoporosis.
However, it insidiously attacks the skin and leaves scars that will intensify into spots, wrinkles and skin cancer. The sun causes many changes, including sunburn and also herpes simplex. Some allergic reactions are also associated with sun exposure and medication use.
It is important to invest in protection for prevention and summer enjoyment with quality of life. Eating healthy, drinking plenty of fluids, wearing appropriate clothing, as well as glasses and a hat will always help. Preferred foods should be low in fat, sugar, salt and high in vitamins and antioxidants. Oranges, lemons, carrots, tomatoes, papaya, broccoli, spinach, fish like salmon and plenty of water and juice also protect the skin and body.
Sunscreen is important. It should be used every day, but there are special rules at the beach or club. To him it should be applied 30 (thirty) minutes before on the entire skin surface. Don’t forget about the ear, the back of the leg and the folds. After another 30 (thirty) minutes, we pass the filter a second time, because heat, sweat and movement facilitate its loss.
And how much sunscreen should we use?
When you go to the beach without sunscreen, you can get red in ten minutes. Filter #15 will increase to 150 minutes this time. We recommend a minimum protection factor of 15 (fifteen), as there is a risk of burns below this. Do not forget that the sun is more aggressive due to changes in the environment and thinning of the ozone layer.
Sunscreen should protect against UVA and UVB rays (ultraviolet A and ultraviolet B). UV radiation does not leave red, but it penetrates very deeply and attacks fibers and vessels. UVB radiation burns the skin and predisposes to skin cancer.
In addition to protection, sunscreen should be suitable for every skin type. Those that are more oily blend better with light filters of lotions or gels. Dry skin needs moisturizers. Young children and athletes should use water-resistant filters (that don’t come off the skin easily).
Today’s filters are advanced and associated with antioxidants that prevent skin aging. There are also novelties on the market, such as a sunscreen that you swallow by mouth🇧🇷 This capsule still does not replace the local filter, but it helps prevent burns, herpes, allergies and aging. Vitamin C, E, and beta-carotene, when taken in capsules, also help protect the skin.
Remember that the most dangerous time to go bare is between 11:00 am and 2:00 pm when there is more UVB and that hair also burns in the sun and should be protected with special filters.
Even very defensive, there is a degree of aggression. In addition, the body becomes sweaty and sensitive. So it’s a great tip to keep your skin moisturized all the time. Creams based on urea, glycolic acid, vegetable oils and antioxidants restore and revitalize the skin.
Use your wits and enjoy the summer in good health and well-being.
Take care!
